from scratch thank you
I have lots of scratch recipes that i have made up to 10 mixes at one time and work just fine, of course having two ovens to bake these things always helps.
What type of cake do you want?? I Have buttercakes and mudcakes.

3 inch pans thank you
Sorry I took so long to get back to you, I got caught up with a 3 tier wedding cake, that didnt want to cooperate : ), now
the base recipe i use for buttercake is
100gms of butter (at room temperature)
200gms of sugar
2 eggs
240gms of plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla (or lemon extract whichever you prefer)
2/3 cup of milk
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius.
Prepare a 20cm tin by greasing flouring or covering in parchment paper Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs, beating well after each addition.
Add vanilla and then add flour alternating with milk.
Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
This is the basic recipe from the book, I dont use the baking powder and instead use self raising flour.
Also the recipe says it's for a 20cm tin (8 inch), but it doesnt come out very high, so i use this amount for a 3 inch high, 6 inch square tin.
I would probably make 3 or 4 of this recipe for a 12inch square tin, i always use paper collars on my tins and no nails or cores, i think our ovens may work differently as they usually rise and cook evenly. : ? Any left over mix i make cupcakes.
I also dont usually use aluminium tins.
Hope this helps

PS: You can change the vanilla to almond, lemon or other flavour of your taste, if you want to make the cake a chocolate one add, 1/4 cup of cocoa and 1/3 cup of buttermilk or yoghurt.
